I know, I suck. I think about posting, bet never get around to it. What's new with you? I still read my f'list, and even attempt to comment occasionally.

Let's see.... haven't seen any movies lately, so that's out. TV? Anyone else looking at the Amazon pilots? We've watched a bunch, and some are quite good. We really liked Man In a High Castle -- excellent! Watched the first ep ob Bosche last night, and I think I'll watch more, but then, I've always had a fondness for Titus Welliver.

Survived the Disneyland Measles Outbreak 2014. Spent 21 days hoping I wasn't one of 3% who had vaccine failure. I wasn't!

Vala, our puppy, is very large now, and is going to be way more Border Collie than Black Lab.

Just downloaded the new Mavericks album, Mono. Can't wait to listen to it.

Still in writers block land.

Bought a bunch of seeds from Seed Savers Exchange and have been reading books on companion gardening. It's a project! Turning my yard into a couple raised beds as I've given up on grass until I can afford decent sod.

I've never really gardened before, just picked and watered what my brother has planted. But I wanted to give it a shot myself, and try starting from scratch with heritage seeds using companion gardening. When I cook, I love having fresh homegrown produce. Tastes so much better. And if I can get enough tomatoes, I'm hoping to be able to put up tomato sauce.

We have five apricots, two pear, two peach, one plum, and a baby nectarine that won't be ready for fruit for a few years. Also several pomegranates and an almond tree.
